About us

East Bay Adventures is a group of active, friendly folks interested in socializing with others over 40 at interesting and fun events mostly (but not exclusively) in the East Bay. From dinner to drinks, walking to biking, street fairs to concerts, chances are we're doing it! So join in the festivities, have a great time, and make new friends.

Suggest and Host Events
Have an idea for a good adventure? Contact the organizer with details about a possible event, and we'll see what we can do. Note that business propositions will be ignored.

Members who are outgoing, organized, and punctual are encouraged to host events. Being an event host is an easy, fun responsibility that allows you to reach out and find others who share your interests.

It is recommended that events are limited to 12 or fewer people so people have a chance to talk and get to know one another.

Attendance Policy
Meetup is all about meeting and interacting with people in person or live on zoom. Please RSVP to events ONLY if you plan on attending.

No shows and last-minute cancellations make hosting events more difficult, and they can be grounds for removal from the group.

Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout
Goodreads Choice Award
Nominee for Readers' Favorite Fiction (2024)
It’s autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer, Lucy Barton, who lives nearby in a house next to the sea. Together, Lucy and Bob talk about their lives, their hopes and regrets, and what might have been.

Lucy, meanwhile, befriends one of Crosby’s longest inhabitants, Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. They spend afternoons together in Olive’s apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known – “unrecorded lives,” Olive calls them – reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning.

Brimming with empathy and pathos, Tell Me Everything is Elizabeth Strout operating at the height of her powers, illuminating the ways in which our relationships keep us afloat. As Lucy says, “Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love.”
